So, having watched this video I am now FULL OF STRONG OPINIONS ABOUT ALEXA CHUNG:
1. She is really, really ridiculously good looking, even without a lick of makeup.
2. This makes me want to eat glass.
3. She seems easy-going and likable which also irritates me.
4. Her story about how she had a zit THIS ONE TIME and didn’t know what to do about it so she called a friend over to help her deal with it was…oh my God. I don’t even have words.
5. Excuse me while I set things on fire.
6. Her mastery at the liquid liner cat eye made me confident that I can also do this because I TOTALLY know what to do when I have a zit so I’m clearly much smarter than Alexa Chung.
7.You can see where this is going.
So! I watched this video and then did some research on drugstore liquid liner pens since I’m on a fucking budget, though the Alexa-branded Eyeko pen looks pretty nice. (UGH.) I ended up with this one:

| Physicians Formula Eye Booster |
And you know what? It’s really pretty good. I experimented with it a bit and after some, uh, horrifying liner/eyeball mishaps I managed to figure it out. Last weekend I did a fairly understated cat eye liner for an evening date and it didn’t look too bad! Of course I didn’t bother to take a photo because I’m the worst blogger ever so you’ll just have to use your imagination.
The Physicians Formula liner is really good - it has a very, very fine tip and didn’t smudge or transfer on me at all. It’s a good starter-liner and I’m hoping with some practice I can get fast enough with it to be able to wear it during the day. (Being half an hour late for work because you want to wear fancy eyeliner is apparently frowned upon. Hmph.)
